2016 - 2A State 3rd Place Doubles Team Marco Sobrino and Cody Hughes
2016 - 2A State 4th Place Doubles Team Ethan Le and Bryan Le
Coach's Comment: The LHS Men had a very successful experience at the 2016 2A State Tournament.
In addition to earning 2nd Place in the Team Award category, the LHS Mens Team came away from State with exceptional performances.
Senior and Team Captain Marek Pierepiekarz was the recipient of a bad-luck draw and faced two very difficult opponents in his final tournament action as a member of the LHS Tennis Team. Marek lost both of his matches.
LHS's #1 Doubles Team of Ethan Le and Bryan Le had a very good tournament. The team won its first two matches but in the quarterfinals they faced the team that went on to win the entire tournament. Making the match against the eventual winners even more climatic was the fact that Ethan and Bryan lost in 3 sets with the match being determined by a tie-breaker! AND the final score of the tie-break was 10-12! Ethan and Bryan went on to win their final 2 matches earning them 4th Place in the tournament.
LHS's #2 Doubles Team of Marco Sobrino and Cody Hughes also had a successful tournament. The team won their way to the semifinals before they too had the challenge of facing the same Doubles team that Ethan and Bryan faced and the same team that went on to win the tournament. Although our LHS #2 Doubles fought hard, they were defeated. In their final match of the tournament, Cody and Marco defeated the team from Lindbergh to take 3rd Place overall in the tournament!

The LHS Doubles Teams of Ethan & Bryan Le, Colby & Calvin Vuong, and Devin Emerson & Cade Hughes also provided wins for the Patriots. A great Team win to honor Senior teammates!" 10/6 Bellevue
Coach's Comment: "I did a bit of research on past Bellevue-Liberty Matches. In 2008, a LHS Doubles Team (Sam Andres & Matt Weik) defeated their Bellevue opponent to give Liberty a sole win in what turned out being an overall 6-1 victory for Bellevue. In 2010, LHS’s Michael Payant defeated his #2 Bellevue Singles opponent AND Sho & Ken Kato defeated their #2 Doubles opponent to account for the second victory in what otherwise resulted in a Bellevue 5-2 victory. In all other years, LHS had not been able to win one court in matches against Bellevue. In yesterday’s Bellevue Match: Naoki Lucas(Singles), Ethan & Brian Le (Doubles) and Colby & Calvin Vuong (Doubles) won their courts for 3 LHS wins! Marco Sobrino and the LHS Doubles Team of Devin Emerson & Christian Wong played well. At the conclusion of the Match, the Bellevue coach congratulated the LHS Team with deserved compliments." 9/29 Juanita

Playing well for LHS were: #1 Singles Player & Team Capt, Marek Pierepiekarz who won 6-0, 6-1. #2 Singles, Cody Hughes who won an exciting 3-set match 6-0, 3-6, 6-3. #3 Singles player, Marco Sobrino won, 6-1, 6-1 The #1 LHS Doubles Team of brothers Ethan & Brian Le won 6-0, 6-0. #2 Doubles Team of Calvin & Colby Vuong defeated their opponents 7-5, 6-0 #3 Doubles Team of Nathan Yan & Naoki Lucas won their match 2-6, 6-2, 10-7 And Liberty exhibition players Devin Emerson & Cade Hughes also won their match 6-1, 6-0." 9/24 Schedule Update

Coach's Comment: "Liberty Boys Tennis played its third straight match yesterday against a 4A school and came away with a 2-5 loss. Coach Salokas feels that competing early in the season against the bigger schools will be good preparation for when the League, regular-season matches begin. With every match we play, I'm witnessing improvement. Playing well for Liberty was Singles player Marco Sobrino who earned one of the LHS victories. The LHS #1 Doubles Team of Ethan & Bryan Le also earned a straight set victory for Liberty."  Cody Hughes

9/8 Varsity vs Skyline Coach's Comment: "The 2015 LHS Boys Tennis Team began its Season by hosting inter-School District rival, Skyline HS at its brand new tennis facility at Liberty! Although the Liberty Boys came away with a 2-5 loss, as the first match of the Season, several bright spots make the future look very promising. Marco Sobrino and the Doubles Team of Colby & Calvin Vuong played very well and came away with both LHS victories." (Click on images to enlarge.)

Tennis Courts at Liberty High School
First Practice - Monday! August 24, 2:30 - 5:00 LHS Tennis Courts - South of Parking Lots MUST Bring Athletic Clearance Ticket Tennis Racket Water To All Boys Who Wish to Participate in 2015 LHS Boys Tennis
The Fall LHS Boys Tennis will begin with practices at the NEW LHS Tennis Courts on Monday August 24th from 2:30PM – 5PM. This year’s Tennis Program will be exciting for several reasons but perhaps most significant is the fact that we will be playing LHS Tennis back on the campus of LHS! There is preliminary work required of all participants before August 24 – specifically, Registration. Registration is necessary and must be completed BEFORE any player is allowed to participate in practice. Also, because W.I.A.A. regulations require that each player attend a minimum of 10 practices before playing in a competition AND because our season schedule normally begins 10 days from the start of practice – it is imperative that every LHS Tennis Boy have his Registration information completed & submitted to the Athletic Department Office BEFORE August 24th! Registration for Fall Sports begins Monday, Aug 10th, from 8am – 12pm in the LHS Athletic Dept Office. Please be sure your plans and schedule include complying with the above. A link to the Registration information required is: http://www.issaquah.wednet.edu/family/sports/HSsports If you are aware of any LHS Boys who might be interested in joining LHS Tennis, please feel free to share this information with him. Based on the success of the 2014 Team as well as having the Tennis Program back on the LHS Campus will make this upcoming Season a very special one! Thanks and I look forward to seeing you on August 24th. Coach Mike Salokas 2014/15 Season Summary

Go Patriots! 10/21/14 Post Season Qualifier Match vs Sammamish
The top LHS Boys tennis players played a tournament pre-qualifying competition against Sammamish HS. The qualifier pitted the top 2 singles players from both schools and the top 2 doubles teams from both schools in a "winner goes on to play in next week's tournament and loser goes home."
In Singles, Naoki Lucas was paired against Sammamish HS's Ethan Romney (a State Tournament Finalist in 2013). Naoki fought hard but the experience of Romney proved too much for LHS's Naoki Lucas who lost in two sets. In the other Singles match, LHS's Keaten Winegar defeated SHS's Joe Inoue, 6-1, 6-1 for LHS's first win of the day. In Doubles action, the top LHS Doubles Team of Marek Pierepiekarz & Matthew Cao garnered the 2nd victory for the Patriots with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Ryan Ching & Yodae Lin. In the day's second Doubles event, LHS's Ethan Le & Cody Hughes won an exciting 3-set match over Dan Kranzler & Max Natorangelo 1-6, 6-3, 7-5. Coming back to win after a first-set hiccup was most impressive. The 3 wins in the Qualifier enable the Liberty Patriots Tennis Team to place two Doubles Teams and one Singles player into the 2A District Tournament. A job well done by the LHS tennis team!

Tibbetts Valley Park Tennis Courts,
965 - 112th Avenue NW, Issaquah
Welcome LHS StudentDear Liberty High School Prospective Tennis Player,
I have learned that you have expressed interest in playing tennis at Liberty High. This message is intended to provide you with important information regarding the LHS Tennis Program. To begin, the Boys Tennis season begins next Monday, August 25th. Because the LHS Tennis Courts are under construction, the Team will temporarily use the tennis courts located at Tibbetts Valley Park in Issaquah. Address: 965 - 12th Avenue NW, Issaquah. Boys Tennis practice begins on Monday, August 25th at 2:30PM and will continue until 5PM. This schedule will continue for the entire first week and likely until school begins. Once school commences, LHS Tennis will become an after school activity. Boys will be advised in advance of changes to schedule. Parents will be required to provide transportation home each day for players. Of immediate concern for parents is – playing a high school sport requires the completion of registration. No student will be allowed to participate without completing and successfully submitting registration forms to the Liberty High Athletic Office. If your plans are to compete in tennis for LHS, I strongly encourage you to contact the LHS Athletic Dept and submit the required forms prior to the first day of practice. LHS Tennis is considered a “no-cut” sport. Unless there is an exceptionally high turnout of players, there will likely not be any cuts and everyone will be included on this year’s Team. Important for players to be aware as we begin the Tennis season – boys need to wear tennis/sports clothing. Sneakers, light-weight shirts, and shorts with pockets are expected. Players are expected to have & bring their own tennis rackets. There are a few Team tennis rackets available for players if they do not currently have one. Also, because air temperature is likely to be warm or even hot – players should bring drinking water with them to practice. Remaining properly hydrated is important. Thanks for your interest in participating in the LHS Tennis Program. I look forward to a very successful season. I also look forward to meeting you next Monday, August 25, beginning at 2:30PM at Tibbetts Park. Go Patriots! Respectfully, Mike Salokas, Coach LHS Tennis |

Although rain canceled the first day of the 2013 Boys Tennis KingCo Tournament – play got underway today with many exciting matches. LHS Boys faired reasonably well with Cody Hughes & Keaten Winegar losing in two sets to the doubles team from Interlake HS. Justice Canley & Matthew Cao defeated a doubles team from Juanita and earned the right to play again, tomorrow. Another LHS doubles team - Tyler Le & Aaron Burk fell victims to a very talented Mercer Island team.
In singles play, Ethan Le played well but unfortunately lost to a top-rated Bellevue HS player. Naoki Lucas also had a very difficult opponent from Interlake and lost in two sets. Marek Pierepiekarz was able to defeat the top-ranked singles player from Mt Si to move on to competition on Wednesday.
